Lily-Rose Depp recieved harsh criticism for not being grateful

Lily-Rose Depp provoked a lively discussion on social media. In a recent interview with ELLE magazine, the 23-year-old model/actress debunked the nepotism effect (*assistance from celebrity parents) when it comes to her showbiz career.

"The Internet seems to be very concerned about this kind of stuff. People are eager to get caught up in preconceived ideas about you or how you got somewhere. And I can definitely tell you that nothing is going to provide you with a role except that you're right for it," Depp stated. For some reason, she said, the term "nepo baby" is most often used in relation to girls. "The Internet is much more concerned about your family than it is about the people who are inviting you to audition for various projects. You may already be standing at the door, but it's just standing at the door. There's a lot of work to be done after that," Lily-Rose noted..

While many shared this reasoning on their social networks (for example, Maya Hawke, daughter of actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman), there were also those who did not like Depp's statements. Italian fashion model Vittoria Ceretti, who has appeared numerous times on the covers of Vogue and worked for Prada, Versace and Chanel, without directly mentioning Lily-Rose Depp, wrote that she would love to see how "the baby didn't make it through the first five years of my career."

"I just want to share here because I can. I was blown away by the interview of the so-called 'baby nepo' or whatever you characterize her as," Vittoria began her post, which was later posted on the Diet Prada account. Ceretti acknowledged that the daughter of the famous parents in question may have faced rejection, but according to the model, privilege and family ties have a way of softening any blow.

"You can tell me your sad little story about it (you can even cry on your father's couch in your Malibu villa in the evening), but how about paying for your own airfare when you get home? Waiting for hours of fitting in/castings just to see the 'nepo baby' walk past you and take a warm seat, pulling up in a Mercedes with a personal driver and his/her friend/assistant/agent worried about his/her mental health," Ceretti continued. "You have no idea how much it costs to get people to respect you. It takes years. And you get it all on day one."

The Italian model continued: "I have many friends who have rich and famous parents and whom I respect, but I can't stand you comparing yourself to me. I wasn't born on a comfortable and beautiful pillow and with a window to a beautiful view. I know it's not your fault, but please appreciate and know your place where you came from," Vittoria Ceretti added in conclusion.
